It has been explained several times that the label is not supposed to
please community members, but is supposed to communicate to the outside
world.

So, I have explained why "community" is not a good choice, because
inside the open source community is distinctive for a version with less
features from an "open core" project (and LibreOffice is not open core)
and outside the open source community has a different meaning, which is
misleading for non technical users of desktop software.

They message I have just sent to the mailing list explains why many
labels have been dropped. Based on the discussion, the focus is now on
the concept of a "rolling" release, and "community", "personal", and
other labels are not in line with this focus.

My task is to put together a marketing plan which works, then the board
may decide in a different direction (IMHO, using the "community" label
would make the marketing plan uselss and would not allow to reach the
objective, which is the sustainability of the project).
